Never touch the polished end of fiber cable.
• To prevent serious eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable
connector or mating adapter.
• Clean all fiber optics before installing them into your network according to
prescribed procedures.
• Ensure that the bend radius of your fiber cables is kept to a minimum of 3”
or that specified by the fiber cable manufacturer.
• Perform all cabling procedures according to the established standards for
your organization.
To connect network GigE optical cabling to the GigE optical physical interface
cards:
